Urban Strolls Bracelet Tutorial

I was exploring bugle beads lately, and these two are one of the new patterns I created using them.

Urban Strolls is a relatively soft bracelet made with 2x6 and 2x3 uniform bugle beads and with Japanese seed beads. The bracelet can be made in different widths and of course, lengths, using different types of accent beads.

The tutorial is available (only) in my Etsy shop

Another bracelet project with bugles is coming soon, so stay tuned ;-)

Festoon Fancy Bracelet

I have a box of unfinished projects - most of them are experiments of ideas that needed to be worked on further. I started many years ago and, got stuck, put it in that UFO box and forgot all about it.

In order to get myself beading as I used to, I sometimes go through my boxed of beads to wake up my inspiration and I found this bracelet base design. As it happens sometimes when you revisit a project, an idea or a solution that helps you go on with it pops up, just like that.... So much joy when it happens!

So here's the finished project - Festoon Fancy Bracelet - three variations of the many it can offer: wide with Swarovski crystals, wide with Tila beads and narrower with just seed beads .

The tutorial for it is listed in my Etsy shop.
